Shield:

used in defensive warfare, varying at different times and under different circumstances in size, form, and material (1Sa 17:7; 2Sa 1:21; 1Ki 10:17; 1Ch 12:8,24,34; Isa 22:6; Eze 39:9; Nah 2:3).

Used figuratively of God and of earthly princes as the defenders of their people (Gen 15:1; Deu 33:29; Psa 33:20; 84:11). Faith is compared to a shield (Eph 6:16).

Shields were usually "anointed" (Isa 21:5), in order to preserve them, and at the same time make the missiles of the enemy glide off them more easily.
